Given that the issue arose today in the course of conversation I would have understood that parliamentary questions were submitted in March and April in respect of the sports capital grant. It was only when I asked if it was not going to happen this year and if there was a gap year, that it was confirmed and it was not definitive. Has that decision been taken on the sports capital grant? Given that this is the end of June we need to know if that decision has already been taken why people were not informed. Will the Minister look at the issue given the number of clubs that would have made application in the past and were not disappointed on just one but on several occasions? Given the huge level of interest and dependency on the part of many clubs the length and breadth of the state, perhaps we could have some clarification on the issue.
